As the name implies, a 7 day jar candle is a candle that is contained within a jar that is intended to be burned over a period of 7 days. Typically, they’re made out of beeswax, but you can also find soy and paraffin wax candles as well. The purpose of placing them within a jar is that it contains the melting wax, and it allows the candle to remain lit for several days.

They’re often used as standalone tools for a single ritual, but they can also be used as a compliment to other ritual tools. They are available in a variety of colors to be used for specific spells for such things as love, protection, wealth, health, astral travel, energy release, and more.

Although traditionally they are intended to be burned to completion over a period of about 7 days, there are other acceptable ways to burn them.

There is no set restriction in using a 7 day jar candle and an individual can use them in several different ways. We will explain two of the more common methods for using these ritual candles in a ritual or spell.
